What Can I Use Vegetable Glycerine for?

Pharmaceutical and Medical.

Vegetable Glycerine is one of the main components of E-cigarette liquids. It can be used on its own (with flavouring) or combined with Propylene glycol (PG). It's also used in skin care products, cough syrups, elixirs, toothpaste, mouthwashes, shaving cream and hair care products throughout the pharmaceutical and cosmetic industry.

Food and Drinks

Glycerine is used in Food and Drinks as a solvent, sweetener and preservative. It's used as a thickener for liqueurs and a filling agent for low-fat foods in the food industry.

Skin Care

Glycerine can be an effective treatment for cuts, bedsores, burns, psoriasis, bites, rashes and calluses. It's also a good skin cleanser, skin toner and a wonderful skin moisturiser.

Anti-freeze

Glycerine acts as an anti-freeze for water. If you add enough glycerine to make a solution with 60% glycerine to water, this solution will resist solidifying down to about -36 centigrade.

Botanical extracts

Glycerine is used as a substitute for ethanol as a solvent when preparing herbal extractions; its less harmful than ethanol and has less side effects.
